Cases
Paying ocean freight on an import from Asia
LogisticsFreightMultiple currencies
An importer had to pay for ocean shipping and port services in Asia, but the freight payment kept stalling and the containers risked demurrage.
The problem
- The carrier and port required a currency not available directly
- A delayed freight payment threatened demurrage and container downtime
- Several contractors across different jurisdictions were involved
- A single settlement hub was needed for all shipping payments
What we did
- Acted as the payment agent on the logistics contract
- Paid the freight and port fees through an overseas structure
- Consolidated payments to several contractors into one route
- Synced the payment with shipping and cargo-release deadlines
The result
- Freight and port services were paid on time
- The client avoided demurrage and container-downtime costs
- The cargo was released and delivered without delay
- Every operation was documented under the contract
Takeaway
We turn a complex logistics chain with multiple contractors and currencies into one manageable payment route — with no downtime or penalties.
